Kehena Beach at a Glance
If you’re after an adventurous beach that’s off the beaten
path, Kehena Beach is right up your alley. Local government
may have banned nudity on state beaches, but Kehena Beach
is a welcome deviation. Located on the Big Island’s Puna
district, it is one of the few “clothing optional” beaches
in the state and a popular site for adult beach-goers.
Worried about privacy? This beach has literally got it covered.
Kehena’s black sands are dotted with manmade lava walls
that hide most sunbathers from public view. Walk around
a bit—you’ll be sure to find a few secluded spots all to
yourself. Most of them offer great views of the sea and
provide ample shade from the sun. On less crowded days,
these walls look almost surreal against the calm waters.
The water is home to a few crystal-clear tide pools, which
are great for swimming or a cool dip after a day of exploring.
Snorkeling is great around the tide pools and the shallow
edges. Before swimming further offshore, make sure to check
out water conditions as the shore break can be a little
rough.
One thing you shouldn’t miss here is the spinner dolphins.
Locals have dubbed Kehena the “Dolphin Beach” because of
the frequent appearance of spinner dolphins in the area.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please
